Last chemo ?

Praying that this will be my last chemotherapy. 

In a few weeks we will try cutting down on the steroids. 

Walking is going great. Hopefully going to graduate to a cane soon. 

Stills disease? is acting up. Some bad swelling in my shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers. Had some cortisone shots but they only worked for a day. Hopefully they can find and treat this.

Grocery Shopping

Out grocery shopping with the wife today. felt good to get out and see people. 

Pizza. Mt dew and steak. Can't get much better than that. 

Getting a little stronger

Getting a little stronger everyday. Getting up and down the

 steps is a little easier and the couch is a little easier. 

Went to the supermarket again. I keep knocking stuff over 

with their little buggies

Getting chemo #10. Afterwords we are going to try to stop at qdoba. Or the new chipola in deptford. Can't wait. About 45 minutes left.

First Chemo as an outpatient

First Chemo as an outpatient. 

The TVs were kind cool. It took about an hour to come through the IV. Also got labs drawn today. Hopefully my numbers keep getting better.

Being home is great

Being home is great. Very relaxing and a lot of work. It's great to have new deck boards and hand rails and a ramp to help get around. It's also great to have fixed water pipes. Thanks to everyone who has helped out these past few months. A special thanks to Steve and the guys from his church who helped build me a ramp.

Checking out!

I finally get to go home! I can't wait to see my dogs, my house, and the outdoors. 

Thank you Temple Hospital.

New kicks

My new kicks. I'll be going home real soon!

Escape!

I tried to escape today, but they caught me...

Just kidding! We wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the truck. it worked out it was just the right height!

Crutches

Chemo has been rough this weekend. A lot of pain and almost no sleep. But we still plan on coming home Friday. Miss you all can't wait to see everyone.Used crutches today. Went real well. Sit to stand without a walker as well. Doing truck transfers tomorrow. Hopefully I won't get sick again tonight. Can't wait for friday
